Considering I was an admin or whatever I should post an update. I just randomly stumbled upon this in my bookmarks. I haven't really been on since April.I mean, my last post, "rip" kinda shows what I meant, it's all done now. But I won't forget all the memories and how it shaped my teenage years. And the great people I've met.I mostly got into this dank meme thing because I thought it was funny and the site is basically dead, unfortunately. I can tell you if people still used Internet Forums like they used to, I would have taken it alot more seriously. I do thank kloud and kinfin for the opportunity.

Anyways, life update. I'm going to college for multimedia design and development. I converted my HP pre-built PC into a gaming Pc (took it apart and got a new case and graphics card and stuff). I still have the same Honda Civic and haven't done much too it since, I bought a front lip and was saving to buy some coilovers but then I hit a curb quite badly and destroyed the front fender liner and bumper (along with my steelies). I work at a cellphone warehouse. I'm going to meet Aryeh irl this weekend (one of two former members I still talk to on a daily basis, him and loom). I've gotten super into wrestling and watch RAW and Smackdown on a daily basis, along with a PPV Night every month with friends (as if I wasnt already a super-nerd). I'm still into Pokemon, I'm getting Sun and Moon. Socially not much has happened because I havent done much social stuff. It's just me and my 5 friends hanging out like every other day. Hopefully in college I will meet someone. I know I was making fun of kloud and kinfin for getting in the accident, because I'm awful, but I do genuinely hope everything turns out better for everyone.

If anyone reads this (probably only starrk), I guess it's a formal goodbye, since the last post I made was "rip" in April, and nothing since my 19th birthday. I will probably visit from time to time when I remember, but mostly for the nostalgia.

Wait, let me get this straight. Does that mean you don't have a phone period, or you don't have a phone with a good data rate? Because either way, you could just pay for Skype Premium and call/text him all the time. It's only like 20 USD.

i dont have a phone plan that lets me text to the states.

i'd see about skype premnium but i dont think its worth since skype is awful

Im gonna replace the other spark plugs just cuz, then saturday im gonna replace the thermostat, and my cel should come on tomorrow since google says it takes 50 miles for the car to register a cel. then ill find out how many millions this car needs in repairs.

jesus christ

thats nearly 300,000 KMs

how much did you pay for that thing again?

it seems to the point where the amount you paid for the repairs is worth more than the car, just buy a new car.

>cars thermostat is kill>on way to autozone to buy a new one>cars misfiring>they check engine code>cylinder 2>replace the spark plug>drives fine>today>misfiring gain>unplugged battery to reset ecu>now waiting for check engine light to turn back on

If it's cylinder 1 or 4 misfiing, I know it's a coil pack, and which one, and i can replace it.

if it stays cylinder 2, im gonna be driving this car like this till next payday then throwing money at it.

WE chose this car because it was affordable and had the features we needed. Sorry we don't like the types of cars you do, but we had a price range that we were sticking to and the liberty was the best car available in our budget. It's not your right to decide what car we get, and you have no right to insult our decisions.

free country but theres more affordable stuff that would be safer and better on your wallet.not saying buy what i like, buy whats sensible and safe if you dont care about cars. That car is a death trap, you lucky your alive.

You think you have car problems? We had a car accident last night. Our car is has a broken blinker, a busted bumper, a fucked up fender, some lazy lights, and a god awful groan. Yeah, I was able to illiterate. But it was Illiteration for Imphasis.

Kloud has a concussion, and I've got a bone deep bruise on my leg that makes walking very taxing.

Put I like that you only get the one chance, I don't want to be able to do it over if i F up. I makes so much more sense. 'Op. You killed killed the one of a kind Yveltal? That's fine. Well just dust it off so you can try again. No biggie.' How sensible is that?

you could always catch them again anyways if you faint them lol it's not like they die and are gone forever. Usually return to the area or they will be in a post-game area at a higher level

On the first throw? At full health? Zekrom and Yveltall have such high capture rates that if you use the right ball, you can give yourself almost a 100% chance to catch them. ANd as it stands, with a normal ball, it's somewhere around a 20% thing. You shouldn't have a 20% chance to catch a legendary Pokemon at full health with a normal ball. It's too easy. Legendary Pokemon are a trial. A challenge you're meant to summon your courage to face. A great goal that you strive for. So why did they make it so easy? The only game that's worse about it is B2W2 because they literally set the musketeers right in front fo you, but even they take some effort to catch, and they also make it impossible to outright catch the fused version of Kyurem, requiring you capture the parts first and make the fusion yourself, which is in my opinion, the best part about those games.

Seriously, gens 3 and did it perfectly. Palkia, Dialga, Groudon and Kyogre were required to fight, yes, but they were also incredibly tough to capture, which meant that you actually were, in part, encouraged to just out and out defeat them instead. Yes, you'd lose out on your chance to own the two, but then you could get on with the plot.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate Black, White, X, or Y. I just hate certain things about them. The EXP scaling that Gen V used that punishes you for training your Pokemon was dumb and I'm glad they got rid of it. As for the way both of those games handled their titular Legendary Pokemon, I feel like they made the four just significantly less special than they should have been.

And just to prove I'm not being totally unjust, you know how I made a good point out of B2W2? I do hate those games. I think they're the worst installments in the series. But I gave them a nod to the things they got right. Because I'm willing to look through the BS when there's a good point to be made.

That doesn't mean that the other legends in the games, like mewtwo or kyurem, are easy to catch. They made the story ones easy to catch because pokemon's primary audience is still children.

Pokemon games haven't "gotten easier". They just have ways of making the game easier that are almost entirely optional. Pokemon games where ALWAYS easy. Thats why Nuzlocke exists.
